[INDOLOGY] help with meter

[Dániel Balogh]

This should probably not be analysed in terms of classical
syllabo-quantitative metres, but in terms of Vedic metre, where the
patterns are more loosely defined. See Arnold's Vedic metre on trimeter and
combinations of triṣṭubh and jagatī lines within a verse.Arnold, Edward
Vernon. 1905. Vedic Metre in Its Historical Development. Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press. pp. 11-14, esp. §§54-55.
